Quick feature: reload song option in current song menu while playing #1898

Closed linuxtsunami closed 5 years ago

linuxtsunami commented 5 years ago

Hi, In the menu when double-tapping on a song, can you please make it default to "reload song" instead of "restart song" ? When editing a song from outside stepmania (.sm), it would be really nice to reload the song and update the cache from disk as well.

Curently, I have to go back to main menu, then options, then reload songs, then it lost the song I was working on, then I have to find it back in the wheel, then I can restart it. Would save a lot of pain if one could just reload song (from disk!) directly from the song menu when within the song!

Thank you

It is possible this feature already exists, but I am not sure what you are requesting based on what you wrote above.

If possible, can you clarify what you mean by

It is unclear where in StepMania you'd like this reloading feature to be accessible. Are you playing StepMania? Are you writing stepcharts in StepMania? Are you developing for StepMania? More context will help.

The reload song shortcut is pressing Ctrl+Shift+R when hovering the song in the song select.

Yes, that is the keyboard shortcut in most themes to reload a song from disk, creating new cache files in the process, while on ScreenSelectMusic.

Nevermind, seems like Restart Song actually does a reload of the song from disk. Somehow it did not work when I had tried.
